A rope-making demonstration was set up in Medwin Walk and Horsham Museum has been holding a Henry Burstow exhibition - Burstow was famous Sussex ringer.

There has also been a rare chance to watch a demonstration of bell-ringing at St Mary’s Parish Church.

On Monday (April 11) a peal attempt will be made by a local band using the original method composition taken from the Horsham peal book.

Although the term ‘a peal of bells’ is used to describe a ring of bells the term ‘peal’ has a very specific meaning to bell ringers.

In the English system of ringing the bells are rung in changes and no change is repeated until the ringing method is completed. If seven bells are rung in a method until every change has been completed, then 5040 unique changes will have been rung taking around three hours to complete. To be recognised as a true peal no change can be repeated and no breaks in the ringing are allowed.
